EBC green pads are kind on discs and cheap. I used to run them in my Bandit 600 when it was all I could afford. Downside is I found they didn't have tons of initial bite, and outright braking force is less than with a set of sintered (HH) pads when you're braking hard repeatedly (fast road ride, track time).

For commuting, wouldn't be able to fault them though.

Someone here has mentioned that Versah (sp?) pads are rather close to OE without being quite as dear.
